[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment discloses an electrical testing fixture, including a first metal frame 100, a carrier frame 200, a second metal frame 300 and an assembly slide bar 400. The first metal frame 100 encloses a first accommodating cavity 101. A bottom plate 110 covering the first accommodating cavity 101 is installed at the bottom of the first metal frame 100. A first reinforcement structure 120 is installed on the bottom plate 110. Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side wall of the first metal frame 100 is provided with a second reinforcement structure 130 at the opening position of the first accommodating cavity 101. The carrier frame 200 is provided with a first needle plate 210. The first needle plate 210 is directly or indirectly supported on the second reinforcement structure 130. Please refer to Figure 3 The second metal frame 300 surrounds a second accommodating cavity 301, and a second needle plate 310 covering the second accommodating cavity 301 is installed at the bottom of the second metal frame 300. A top plate 320 covering the second accommodating cavity 301 is installed on the top of the second metal frame 300. The second metal frame 300 is installed on the upper side of the first metal frame 100 and can cover the supporting frame 200 so that a test cavity 211 is formed between the second needle plate 310 and the first needle plate 210. The assembly slide rod 400 is installed on the top of the second metal frame 300, and the two ends of the assembly slide rod 400 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the second metal frame 300.

[0037] Among them, the first needle plate 210 is provided with a plurality of first test probes, and the signal transmission lines of the plurality of first test probes are arranged in the first accommodating cavity 101. Similarly, the second needle plate 310 is provided with a plurality of second test probes, and the signal transmission lines of the plurality of second test probes are arranged in the second accommodating cavity 301. The test cavity 211 is used to accommodate the workpiece to be tested, such as a PCBA. When the second metal frame 300 is covered on the carrier frame 200, the test probes on the first needle plate 210 can abut against the lower surface of the workpiece, and the second needle plate 310 can abut against the upper surface of the workpiece, thereby performing electrical testing on the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece. The first reinforcement structure 120 and the second reinforcement structure 130 can both adopt a plate-shaped structure, a strip-shaped structure or a rod-shaped structure. The assembly slide bar 400 is used to connect the second metal frame 300 to an external testing machine, thereby driving the second metal frame 300 to move closer to or away from the carrier frame 200 in the longitudinal direction.

[0038] The first metal frame 100 and the second metal frame 300 are both metal frames with strong structural strength. A first reinforcement structure 120 and a second reinforcement structure 130 are set in the first metal frame 100 to further enhance the structural strength of the first metal frame 100. The two ends of the assembly slide bar 400 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the second metal frame 300, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural strength of the second metal frame 300. The first needle plate 210 is supported by the second reinforcement structure 130, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the stress-bearing part, avoiding deformation of the fixture due to impact, and improving the stability of the test.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The top of the side wall of the first metal frame 100 is provided with a flange portion 140, and the second reinforcement structure 130 is installed on the side wall of the first metal frame 100 and is connected to the flange portion 140. The second reinforcement structure 130 can increase the thickness of the side wall of the first metal frame 100, and can support the flange portion 140. When in use, the second metal frame 300 drives the second needle plate 310 to press down, and the impact force of the second needle plate 310 pressing down is transmitted to the first metal frame 100 through the first needle plate 210, and the flange portion 140 can increase the contact area between the first metal frame 100 and the first needle plate 210 to a certain extent, reduce the pressure, and support the flange portion 140 through the second reinforcement structure 130, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the impact-bearing part, thereby improving durability.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5There are multiple first reinforcement structures 120, which are arranged in a straight line. The two ends of each first reinforcement structure 120 are connected to opposite side walls of the first metal frame 100. For example, the first reinforcement structures 120 are three reinforcement plates, which are arranged in a straight line. The opposite ends of each reinforcement plate are connected to opposite side walls of the first metal frame 100, thereby providing support for multiple locations of the first metal frame 100. Even if the first metal frame 100 is large in size, it can still withstand significant deformation when subjected to external force due to its own structural strength and the support of the first reinforcement structures 120.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 A third reinforcement structure 150 is connected between two adjacent first reinforcement structures 120. The first reinforcement structures 120 and the second reinforcement structures 130 support each other, providing support forces in different directions, thereby preventing significant deformation of the first metal frame 100. For example, the first reinforcement structures 120 and the second reinforcement structures 130 are both reinforcement plates, and the first reinforcement structures 120 and the second reinforcement structures 130 are vertically connected to form a grid-like support structure. This provides support for the sidewalls of the first metal frame 100, and the second reinforcement structures 130 can prevent the first reinforcement structures 120 from deflecting.

[0042] The first metal frame 100 and the second metal frame 300 are both made of aluminum. Aluminum is lightweight and has a certain degree of structural strength. Compared with other metal materials, aluminum frames can minimize the weight of larger fixtures and avoid the adverse effects of excessive weight.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 A carrier plate 230 is installed in the carrier frame 200 and on the upper side of the first needle plate 210. An aluminum frame 220 is installed on the carrier plate 230. The aluminum frame 220 is arranged outside the test cavity 211. The carrier plate 230 is a ring structure. A avoidance cavity is set in the middle of the carrier plate 230. A PCBA support plate 240 (such as Figure 3 For example, PCBA support plate 240 is moved longitudinally by a lifting mechanism 241. When a PCBA needs to be placed, PCBA support plate 240 is lifted by lifting mechanism 241. After the PCBA is placed, PCBA support plate 240 is lowered by lifting mechanism 241. Lifting mechanism 241 can be a power element such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a motor. Positioning pins can be provided on lifting mechanism 241 to position the PCBA.

[0044] The electrical test fixture of this embodiment can be used for automated testing or manual testing. As described above, the second metal frame 300 is connected to an external test machine by assembling the slide bar 400, thereby realizing automated testing through the test machine. For manual testing, the second metal frame 300 can be opened or closed manually. For example, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second metal frame 300 has a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to each other. A first handle 330 is installed on the first side of the second metal frame 300. The second side of the second metal frame 300 is hingedly connected to the aluminum frame 220. Figure 7 During manual testing, the operator opens the second metal frame 300 through the first handle 330 , so that the second metal frame 300 rotates around the hinge end.

[0045] The second metal frame 300 also has opposing third and fourth side walls, each of which is connected to the aluminum frame 220 via a buffer 340. The buffer 340 can be a gas spring. When the second metal frame 300 is open, the buffer 340 supports the second metal frame 300, preventing it from automatically closing under gravity. When the second metal frame 300 needs to be closed, the buffer 340 prevents the second metal frame 300 from closing too quickly and causing a significant impact on the first metal frame 100, thereby improving the durability of the fixture. The hinged structure between the second metal frame 300 and the aluminum frame 220, as well as the buffer 340, are both detachable, allowing for switching between manual and automatic testing modes based on actual application requirements.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first side of the carrier frame 200 is provided with a second handle 250, and the second side of the carrier frame 200 or the second side of the first needle plate 210 is hingedly connected to the first metal frame 100, and the hinge end is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 During the maintenance phase, the second handle 250 can be used to move the carrier frame 200, thereby driving the first pin plate 210 to open, thereby exposing the electrical components or circuits located in the first metal frame 100 for maintenance.

[0047] The present embodiment provides an electrical testing device, including the above-mentioned electrical testing fixture. The structure of the electrical testing fixture can be referred to above and will not be repeated here. The first metal frame 100 and the second metal frame 300 are both metal frames with strong structural strength. A first reinforcement structure 120 and a second reinforcement structure 130 are set in the first metal frame 100 to further enhance the structural strength of the first metal frame 100. The two ends of the assembled sliding rod 400 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the second metal frame 300, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural strength of the second metal frame 300. The first needle plate 210 is supported by the second reinforcement structure 130, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the force-bearing part, avoiding deformation of the fixture due to impact, and improving the stability of the test.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
